Little town meetings" occurred in Con-
necticut today. The indications are OF an
increased license vote. The county commits
sioners generally voted for increase license
fees, many preferring high license to at

often failures In Hartford because of the
increase in license fees, many salo onists of
the lower order joined the no license tenn
persnce men. believing with no license they
could have practically free rum." The at
titude of the low rum element drove many
of the no license men to favor it. The L.
cense was carried 36Ss to l4l3. The vote on
time of closing the saloons at night resulted
in 3309 for u o'clock, snd 992 for IL o clock

what informal meeting at the office of

perfecting the arrangements now being
made for the Memorial day exercises and
also the dedication of the G. A. R. monu

to do much more until after May Is, when
the committee will get together and speed
lily complete all arrangements not already
made. The committee extended an invi.
tation to Prof. Pasmore to take charge of

Value of City Property.

From a statement which was certified
to by Judge K~uykendall, the city clerk,
as being correct and which is to be used
for certain advantageous purposes to the
city, and which THE LEADER reporter
accidentally stumbled upon yesterday,
some interesting facts and figures were OBJ
tanned. The statement alluded to did not
purport to be a schedule of the financial
condition, except so far as it set forth the
value OF its property. No separate state
ment is made of the personal property,
separate and apart from the real, both
amounts being merged in one and the
total being 50, 63S. 1913. so These figures
represent the assessed valuation of both
real and personal property in the city.
In addition to this, the real value OF the
property was given, the amount being
stated at 81, GOT. 573 so. By what means
the real value of the property was ascer.
tanned it is not necessary to explain. 1t
might be stated, further, that it is expect
ed that the valuation of taxable property
in the city of Cheyenne, after the assess,
ment has been adjusted by the board
of equalization, will be about 81, OOO, 900.

Since the Burlington & Missouri first

doubts and misgivings about the future of
Cheyenne, but now scarcely a man of or
binary intelligence can be found who does
not know aud plainly see that this city
now has a prosperous future before it,
providing u people are true to their own
interests, and when the proper time
comes turn their attention in part to some
thing else besides buying and selling cor
ner lots, for this never did and never will
make a town. The Burlington & Mis-
souri, has acted in perfect good faith with
the people of Cheyenne, and has not only
expended some $3.50, 900 in the purchase
of real estate in this city, but has already
begun work on the construction of its line
to this point, and proposes not only to
push the work with vigor but will uu-
doubtedly complete the road at this end
